Chapter 925: Hold On For Me

e asked the village headman to inform the villagers that they should bring their own food when going up the mountain, so as not to faint from hunger and trouble others.Looking at the villagers before...Yulian was afraid that her sister-in-law would soften and let the man go, so she rushed forward to pull Fang Jinshu back.

"At this hour, you absolutely cannot go out!"

They came for our family, sister-in-law. If you leave, we are certain to die today.

"Zhao Xingzhou came to our house willingly, and he also chose to go out to protect us."

"Yu Lian gritted her teeth, "Back then in Xi Zhou, although you never told us what happened during that missing half year, my second brother and I had long suspected it was related to Zhao Xingzhou."

"Sister-in-law, you can't go out."

Zong Bai hurried to catch up and stammered,

"I'm going out to save Master Zhao."

Mu heard her son's words and instantly felt nervous, wanting to say something but afraid to speak.

Fang Jinshu pushed the two people back angrily.

"You two just stay here."

"Even if I didn't save Zhao Xingzhou, I had to go out. Hiding in the cellar like a turtle with its head tucked in wouldn't do. Even if we managed to escape this time, Yuan Buyu would know we were completely powerless to fight back. Next time, he'd only send even more skilled assassins instead of hesitating to stop."

Don't worry, I have a way to deal with the people outside. I'll be fine.

Even though Fang Jinxiu said that, Yu Lian and Zong Bo's expressions still didn't relax at all. Both of them had expressions of disbelief.

"For so many years, your sister-in-law has never said a word of falsehood to deceive you."

"I have a secret weapon in my hand. Even if I can't defeat them, I won't die."

When in danger, she can take refuge in the space.

From outside came Zhao Xingzhou's screams. Zhao Yuni's face turned as white as a sheet, and she nervously looked towards Fang Jinshiu.

If she doesn't make a decision soon, Xiao Jiu will really die.

Fang Jinshi really didn't want to owe Zhao Xingzhou too many favors. This fool had already done enough for her, they were even long ago, there was no need to risk a life for each other.

Even if the person in her heart wasn't him, she absolutely didn't want to see him die tragically before her eyes.

"Alright, don't fret. Just protect your mother and the treasure."

The cellar door was slammed against from the outside several times. Fang Jinshu let Zong Bai prepare, those outside certainly wouldn't expect them to open this door willingly at this time.

As soon as the door opened, Zong Bai could take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill the person who was banging on the door with a hidden arrow.

"Are you ready"

Fang Jinxiu raised her hand, three, two, one.

"Open the door."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Lian pulled open the iron bolt of the cellar door. The person banging on the door outside, as they had expected, stood rooted to the spot for a moment.

Zhong Bai seized the moment and shot an arrow from his sleeve, piercing his opponent's heart.

Fang Jinshu also took the opportunity to come out from the cellar.

"Quick, shut the cellar door again. Tonight, nobody opens it without my password, understand"

Zhong Baiyu and Lian hurriedly nodded, and the cellar door instantly closed again.

Zhao Xingzhou was still struggling with the other three, his clothes already soaked in blood. If Fang Jinshu had arrived any later, she would have truly been burying him.

"Zhao Xingzhou, get out of the way!"

She roared, then hurled the homemade poison bomb in her hand toward the other three.

While it was called a poisoned bomb, its manufacturing principle was similar to modern chemical weapons. The shell containing the powder would shatter upon impact, releasing the poison.

The powder inside will react with the air to produce a large amount of toxic gas, and anyone who inhales it will fall unconscious within five seconds.

Fāng Jǐnxiù's voice was already fast enough, but Zhào Xīngzhōu had too many injuries and was exhausted. He didn't even have time to run out of the range of the poison gas bomb.

Fortunately, Fang Jinshi had made preparations in advance. She covered her mouth and nose, quickly stepped forward and brought Zhao Xingzhou out of the poison gas range, and then stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Zhao Xingzhou finally managed to save his life.

The two of them ducked away, watching as the three people in the poison gas all collapsed with a thud. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"You saved me again. Thank you," Zhao Xingzhou said weakly, looking at her.

Fang Jinshu looked at his injuries, her brows furrowed in deep concern.

"Stop talking, save your energy."

"If you hadn't lured them all out, I wouldn't have had to use gas."

This poison gas bomb is extremely powerful and indiscriminate, easily harming one's own people. Fang Jinshui originally intended to use it only as a last resort.

At that time, she really couldn't think too much. In the midst of the fight, her wrist-launched arrows couldn't guarantee that Zhao Xingzhou wouldn't be injured.

"Thank goodness those people are finally gone."

Zhao Xingzhou nodded, relaxed his body and was about to close his eyes for a moment.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of heavy footsteps. Fang Jinshu's face changed drastically, and she heard it too.

"Damn it, wasn't it said that only five assassins were coming"

She hurriedly helped Zhao Xingzhou up and prepared to run into the cellar. The cellar was about 300 meters away from them, a short run could get there. As long as they hid inside, even if more assassins came to support them, they wouldn't have to be afraid.

Fu Ming and Fu Shangyuan should be here soon.

"Zhao Xingzhou, hold on for me!"

In a moment, Zhao Xingzhou made a decision. He suddenly pushed Fang Jinshi away.

"Don't worry about me, just go in and take cover in the cellar. You won't have time to get us both to safety."

"Run."se years, amounted to only a few taels of silver. Zong Bai could only attend school intermittently.In winter, if you don't have money, don't go to the academy. If you have money, continue paying to st...
